Martial Arts: Starting from a Seemingly Real System

Wudang Feng Feiyan and Lin Wenyuan wanted to force their way into Lujiazhuang. Qiao Rui's heart moved and he tried to test them: "I'm afraid we are not strong enough to do it alone. It's better to inform the government so that they can take care of us."

Feng Feiyan frowned slightly when she heard this. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Qiao Rui say, "With our skills, even if we are defeated, it won't be difficult to escape. But what about the children?"

Lin Wenyuan also nodded slightly, and said to Senior Sister Feng Feiyan with a smile: "Brother Qiao has thought it through, this is what should happen!"

Seeing that his junior fellow apprentice also agreed, Feng Feiyan snorted twice and stopped objecting.

Qiao Rui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He would definitely report the matter to the Qingtian Guards, but he was afraid that Feng Feiyan would be disgusted, and he could not reveal his identity as a Qingtian Guard, so he said this.

"When do we start?" Feng Feiyan was decisive. Since she had agreed to the government's intervention, she did not hesitate any more and asked directly.

"Tomorrow night!" Qiao Rui said. He still had to deal with the winery fraud during the day tomorrow and was afraid he would not be able to get away. And tonight was too busy and he had not made all the preparations.

"it is good!"

Feng Feiyan and Lin Wenyuan nodded at the same time.

After the agreement was made, the three of them stopped discussing matters and instead toasted each other with wine and chatted until they were fully satisfied.

The next day, at the hour of Mao on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the sky was gloomy, with wind and snow!

There was a small inn in the north of the city. The lobby was deserted and cold. Most of the guests had not yet gotten up and were still meeting Zhou Gong in their warm beds.

"Squeak!"

The door of a guest room opened and a middle-aged man walked out.

The man was about fifty years old, with a square face, big ears, thick lips, two long wisps of beard at his temples, and a kind face that made people want to get close to him.

He walked slowly downstairs to the lobby, asked the waiter to bring him a bowl of white porridge, two steamed buns, and a plate of pickles, and began to enjoy his breakfast leisurely.

The lobby was as quiet as water, with only the sound of the middle-aged man eating.

At the end of the Mao hour, other guests finally came downstairs one after another. The waiters were busy greeting them and shouting, making the place noisy and lively.

The middle-aged man had finished his breakfast. He drank half a pot of hot tea and then looked up at the sky outside.

The cold air is biting and the sky is full of snow and wind!

He frowned slightly and hesitated to move forward, but after thinking about it, he asked the waiter for an oil-paper umbrella and plunged into the snow.

In a remote winery in the northwest of the city, a man and a woman were sitting in the main seat of the reception room. The man was handsome and the woman was pretty, but their expressions showed unconcealed anxiety and nervousness, and they were restless.

At the guest seat, a young man was drinking hot tea leisurely, looking calm and relaxed.

"Qiao Rui, do you really want to meet that person in person?" The pretty woman sitting in the main seat pursed her lips and asked. It was Wen Shuyan.

"If I don't react to my family's wealth, it would seem deliberate." Qiao Rui smiled casually, "I guess they won't think I'm a fool. After suffering such a big loss, I can still bear it and not show up."

"Then aren't you afraid of alerting the enemy?" Wen Shuyan was a little confused. They had been discussing it a few days ago and planned to use a trick to find out the mastermind behind the scenes. Why did they change their mind now?

"He's shocked, but I don't have time to play with him." Qiao Rui smiled indifferently.

He had made an appointment with Feng Feiyan and Lin Wenyuan to go to Lujiazhuang to rescue people at night, so he had to cut the Gordian knot on the matter of the winery. After the liar named Liu Qin cheated him of so many banknotes, he must hand it over to the mastermind behind the scenes, so it made no difference whether he showed up or not.

"Okay, don't worry, nothing will happen!" Seeing that Wen Shuyan was still worried, Qiao Rui smiled and comforted her. He understood that Wen Shuyan was worried about him, afraid that those banknotes would never come back. This was Qiao Rui's entire fortune.

"Tuk, Tuk, Tuk!"

As they were talking, the rhythmic sound of knocking on the door came through the wind and snow and reached everyone's ears. Wen Shuyan's expression froze and she turned to look at Qiao Rui.

Qiao Rui smiled gently and shook his head at her, indicating that she didn't need to be nervous.

Soon, the guard came over with a gentle middle-aged man.

The gentle and honest middle-aged man put away his oil-paper umbrella outside the reception room, brushed off the snowflakes on his body, and then walked in.

He quickly glanced around the hall, paused slightly when he saw Qiao Rui, then quickly looked away, bowed to the two people at the main seat and said with a smile: "Boss He, Madam Wen, how are you?"

He Peixuan glared at him angrily without saying anything.

Wen Shuyan smiled stiffly. After realizing that Liu Qin was a liar, she looked at his kind face and felt that he looked hideous and ugly.

She didn't want to pay attention to Liu Qin, but the show had to go on. She invited Liu Qin to take a seat, and then she forced a smile and said, "Boss Liu, I wonder why you are here today?"

Liu Qin sat down at the bottom, just opposite Qiao Rui. He secretly looked at Qiao Rui again, and seeing Qiao Rui drinking tea by himself, he smiled at Wen Shuyan and said, "I ordered a batch of wine from you a month and a half ago, and it was agreed to be delivered on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month. Today is the perfect time to pick it up. Did Madam Wen forget?"

"Of course I forgot, but there were some mistakes during the fermentation process and I can't deliver it today. I hope Boss Liu can give me some time and I will brew another batch for you." Wen Shuyan suppressed her unhappiness and pretended to be helpless.

"What? This batch of wine can't be delivered today?" Liu Qinteng stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open and his face full of shock. After a moment, he muttered to himself: "What should I do? What should I do?"

Suddenly, Liu Qin's eyes turned red, and he looked directly at Wen Shuyan, saying hatefully: "You have caused me great trouble. According to the agreement, you must pay ten times the compensation!"

"It's quite realistic!"

Suddenly, a cold snort was heard. Qiao Rui put down the teacup, took out a stack of banknotes and threw it over, "Take the money and get out!"

When Liu Qin saw the banknote flying towards him, he hurriedly reached out to catch it. However, as soon as his hands touched the banknote, he suddenly felt a strong force hitting him, and the banknote passed through his hands and hit his chest directly.

"Oh!"

Liu Qin's body trembled and he fell into the chair, feeling upset and nauseous, and his blood was boiling.

"You... who are you? Why did you hurt me?" Liu Qin said breathlessly with his face flushed. He covered his chest with one hand and pointed at Qiao Rui with the other tremblingly.

"You even dare to plot against me. Aren't you afraid that you will get the money but not live to spend it?" Qiao Rui sneered, his eyes were as sharp as a knife. He was too lazy to play along with this liar. At this time, this person actually asked who I was. Didn't he collect any information about me before setting a trap for me?

"You dare!" Faced with Qiao Rui's threat, Liu Qin was so angry that he trembled all over.

He now understood that Qiao Rui knew about the scam. He had originally expected Qiao Rui not to commit a crime in the city, but seeing Qiao Rui's expression at this moment, he became a little uncertain. He could not help but said with a sympathetic look, "Longxing City is the secondary capital of Daxia. Do you want to break the contract and test the law?"

"Killing you will dirty my hands!" Qiao Rui curled his lips in disdain, "Leave the deed here, take the money and get out!"

"Humph!"

Facing Qiao Rui's cold gaze, Liu Qin snorted heavily, stood up, bent down to pick up the silver bills that fell on the ground, counted them hurriedly, took out the deed from his arms and put it on the coffee table, then fled from the winery. He was really afraid that if he left a step late, Qiao Rui would be furious and kill people.

After leaving the winery, the wind and snow became stronger. Liu Qin thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and did not walk towards the inn. Instead, he turned and went into the carriage and horse shop.

Soon, more than ten identical carriages came out of the carriage shop at the same time, left the city through various gates, and disappeared in the vast snow and wind.

Another half hour later, an ox cart slowly left the city and headed west!
